As long as it was possible to preserve Peace by means of sacri• flees, and as long as these sacrifices were consistent with the honour of. the Throne, with the,security of the State, and with ►he welfitre of the people, the heart of our bountiful Sovereign suppressed every painful feeling in silence:; :.but when nil endeavours : to Preserve happy independence from the insatiable ambition ofa foreign Conqueror prove fruitless, when nations are falling around us, and when lawful Sovereigns are torn from the hearts of their subjets, -when in tine the danger of universal subjtigation threatens even the happy States of Austria, ;ncl their peaceable fortunate . inhabitants ; then does our Country demand its deliverance from us, and we stand forth in its defence. " On you, my dear Brother Soldiers, are 140 the eyes of . the Unicierse, and of all those whO still lea for national honours and national prospe rity. You shall not share the disgrace of be, coining the Tools of Oppression. You shall not. carry on the, endless wars of ambition under distant climes. Your 'blood shall never flow for foreign fleets and foreign covetousness ; not on you shall the curse alight to annihilate innocent nations;' and over the bodies of the slaughtered defenders of their country to pave the way for a foreigner to the usurped throne. A happier lot awaits you the liberty of Europe has taken refuge under our banners. Your vieloriee will loose . its fetters, and your brothers in Germany, yet in the ranks of the enerny, long for their deliverance. You are engaged in a just cause, otherwise Ilhould not appearat your head. " On the fields ; . of Ulm. and Marengo, Avhereof th e ..

There remains one consideration,,whioh I must put you in mind 'of : the Soldier is , only formidable to t h e E nem y i n arms oMi virtues must not be strangers to him : out of the field of battle, towards the unarmed citizens and peasants, lie is moderate, compassionate, and humane : he knows the evils of war, and strives to lighten the-in. I will punish every wnntotrrexcess• with so munch. greater security as it is not the 'intention of • our Monarch toeppress neighbouring countries, but to deliver them from their' oppressors, and to forth with their Princes a powerful bond in order to bring about a last-• ing peace, and to maintain the general welfare and security. Soon will foreign troops in strict union with us, attack the common Enemy. Then, brave companions in arms honour nod support them as your brothers ; not vain-gloriOns big!) words but manly deeds do honour to the warriOy ; by intrepidity before the enemy you roust strew your selves to be thefirst soldiers.
